Ingredients
- 16 oz imitation crab meat
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 stalks green onion
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Place the imitation crab meat on a cutting board and shred it into smaller, bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife. Add the shredded crab meat to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Peel the cucumber and carrot, then julienne them into thin, matchstick-size strips. Thinly slice the green onions. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the crab meat.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, coconut milk, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste if necessary.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the crab meat and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Before serving, give the salad one final toss and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.
Step 7
Serve chilled as a side dish, in sandwiches, or alongside rice for a complete meal.
